Karady fabricated ephemeral objects that are traditionally white, frilly and feminine out of tripe, the stomach lining of the cow, and some other internal organs. The tripe objects reveal the internal externally: each object functions as some sort of covering, but they are sewn from abject materials from inside the body.

This work initiates Karady’s subsequent investigations of the formation of the female subject and the processes of gender codification through photography. She was intrigued by little girls' affinity for the excess and spectacle of feminine attributes and how this masquerade is connected to female sexuality, notions of beauty, the body and societal conventions. By covering gendered objects with unusual materials, she provokes a reaction of simultaneous attraction and repulsion that characterizes not only the psychoanalytic concept of desire but also her own personal ambivalence towards "the feminine."
